 1  Uti Usually have heartbeat between 50/60. After one day of azithromycin pulse went up to 90/100. Anxiety,constant stomach pain with diarrhea. Always tired, just feeling awful. This medicine should be banned from the market. My doctor never even saw me just called it in to my pharmacy. This is poison, I pray that God will please let this exit my body real real soon.

 5  For a bad sinus infection I took this medication at night and it helped. It is a good idea for people who have bad reactions to take this medication before going to bed. The only side effect i got was loose stools as soon as I eat. More like a stomach upset. It started the last day Of the 5th day. It has been about 12 days since the last dose but the stomach upset after each meal continues. In a way I am ok with that because it helps eliminate the waste from my body. I did not experience stomach pain. Although I did get head aches the last two days but they stopped. It cured my infection. F 55 5 days

 1  Pnuemonia My 12 year old son started taking this on 1/10/16 for pneumonia and had severe stomach pains, feelings of weakness, dizziness, stiffness in joints. I told the doctors but they wanted me to keep him on it despite the reactions since he had microplasma pneumonia. It has been over 2 weeks and he still is not back at school due to severe abdominal pain. Comes all day every day since taking. No one seems to believe it is the antibiotic. I don't know what to do. We are taking probiotics and limiting his diet. We are seeing so many doctors and I honestly believe it is from the antibiotic as he had a severe reaction. Does anyone have experience with this and can recommend anything that could help? M 12 5 days

 1  respiratory infection Extreme anxiety, depression, diarrhea no appetite, nausea, fatigue. I had these symptoms 6 months ago after two days of Z-pac. Now the exact same symptoms returned. I haven't taken any antibiotics or any new meds. It seems to be related to the Zithromax. I have heard symptoms can return months later. F 57 2 days

 2  STD Abdominal pain, loss of appetite for a day and vomiting. Not sure what happened here. I've had 500 MG of Azithromycin before, I think 1000 MG was probably too much. Took it on a Tuesday and Wenesday I had stomach cramps, Thursday vomiting, Friday the pain was too much and I had to leave work early. Felt better over the weekend but it's been a week now and still feel some light discomfort. M 24
